Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf To
Premiere in 3-D
When Robert Zemeckis's
"Beowulf" is released in theaters nationwide on November 16,
2007, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures will
offer audiences an immersive motion picture experience
unlike anything they've seen before as the film is presented
in REAL D and other large-format 3-D theaters day-and-date
with its 35mm release, it was announced today by Jim Tharp,
president of Paramount Pictures distribution. When the film
is released, REAL D will be in over 1,000 theaters
worldwide, mostly in North America, and it is also expected
that "Beowulf" will be the largest day-and-date large-format
3-D release of all time.
Robert Zemeckis directs
"Beowulf," a digitally enhanced live-action film from a
screenplay by Neil Gaiman and Rogert Avary inspired by the
9th century English epic poem. The film stars Ray Winstone,
Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan
Gleeson, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman, and Angelina
Jolie.
Commenting on the
announcement, Steve Starkey, the producer of the film, said,
"Bob Zemeckis instinctively presents his films in a very
dynamic way that suits itself perfectly for the 3-D
experience, and 'Beowulf' is no exception - the film is an
ideal match for the REAL D system and other large-format 3-D
presentations. When we presented 'The Polar Express' in 3-D,
we looked for a way to differentiate the cinema experience,
and with 'Beowulf,' REAL D is allowing us to expand on that
idea."
REAL D's 3-D format
enables a single digital projector to beam images that seem
to move toward or away from viewers when wearing special,
comfortable, lightweight glasses. Unlike traditional
anaglyph (red and blue) 3-D, REAL D Digital 3-D leverages
digital cinema projection technology to eliminate eye
fatigue, ensuring moviegoers enjoy the most comfortable 3-D
viewing experience possible.
Michael Lewis, chairman of
REAL D, added, "We try to present involving and realistic
stories to the audience. That's what this new generation of
3D allows us - to make the audiences feel like they're part
of the movie. Our format creates an even more lifelike
experience; this is the premier way to see
cinema."
